I remember a movie Robbie was in called Buster and Billy . I saw it a a drive in theatre with my best friend Tim and his mom in the 1970's . I mostly remember the part where he was swimming naked in a pond and it showed him in all his glory . I liked that part so much I asked my buddy's mom when my pubes were gonna grow that bushey , After choking and spraying a little coca cola on the dash board she cranked the car up and took us home saying that maybe we were to young for this movie. My friend Tim that Ive known since third grade is still my bestest gay friend . Sometimes we still laugh about this till we cry .

the movie sure took me back 30 years--I was almost expecting to see a Scott Madsen Soloflex commercial break. (I wonder whatever happened to Scott Madsen?)

I have no shame in admitting that Robbie Benson was as much heart throb romantic fantasy fodder for me as he was for any Tiger Beat readin' teenage girl of the 70's. And Scott Madsen? He was fantasy fodder of another kind. I do wonder whatever happened to him as well. To my 13 year old eyes, he was hot as lava.

I was never a big fan of Robbie or his Tiger Beat ilk, they were too scrawny for me. I was a muscle mary from the word go, I'd be checking the back of my comic books for those ads for muscle building programs and lusting after the bodybuilders.

Barry Gibb was simply an Uber-Stallion. Andy Gibb had a big mound too. Actually I had a bigger crush on Andy at the time. I think he was my #1. But now that I'm older it's ALL about Barry.

omg I remember making out with my girlfriend in 5th grade and staring at Andy's poster while we were doing "it" I also remember at a young age being obsessed with my sister's life size poster of Mark Spitz.

be it known that i thoroughly detest the new swimsuits everybody's wearing these days for competitive swimming. they're totally killing watching that sport for me. besides, it's not how fast you can go with the aid of some super scientific speed suit...it's which human being can swim fastest in the water. just the human - skin against water.

I'm with you Timmy. They should ban those swim suits and force them to wear speedos again. Swimming is just no fun to watch anymore. If it's skin or world records, I'd rather see skin anyday. Of course, the women can wear those new suits if they want

I gotta go with Shaun/Julie. But only because of nostalgia. I remember my Dad and I sitting in front of the tube watching Julie sing this and we both had the biggest grins on our faces. My father told me he was quite gay back in his salad days, the 20's and 30's, but that just meant he knew how to swing to the likes of Cole Porter et al. I don't think he really understood what gay meant to me until I introduced him to the Muppets. It was a show we always watched together.

Mark Spitz was ok, but I still say that the cute nerdy types are the best.

Anyone else for Parker Stevens & Shaun Cassidy?

/FAIL

it's Stevenson

I have to say, I was MIGHTILY disappointed that everyone has failed to mention Shaun Cassidy or his SEMINAL portrayal, in 1979's Like Normal People of a mentally-challenged young man that falls in love with a similarly challenged girl. SERIOUS SERIOUS high camp.
